I didn't realised we were building two stadiums, no wonder it's taking so fucking long
The 'new' stadium got pregnant. Long gestation. They are looking for the father to pay maintenance.

It’s been on all the planswtf is that excuse of a tv screen on the outside of the West Stand. Was that in the original plans or did Levy get a good deal on a flat screen off the back of a lorry
If it's not finished and will look a lot better then I take back my negativity but as it looks now it spoils the stadium exterior
Also why locate a big screen in an area where not many people can see it ie right next to the high rd where the road is so close to the stadium and the pedestrian access is very limited. Surely it would be much better located facing one of the pedestrian squares
I don't get it, maybe I'm missing something?

The veil will go over it, when it's on it will almost look like a projector.
No it doesn’t, just goes around it and slightly over the edges I thinkHuh pretty sure the veil doesn’t go over it.

It would be pointless to put a veil over a screen.
Passing traffic happens 24hrs per day on that road....so theirs a high level of exposure. Also because it was probably easier to put there than on the south stand.
I think you're right, I can't find the images now but I do remember seeing some where it looked almost like a projector image.
This one makes it seems partially covered, almost like the edges are faded.

This conversation is pretty funny...I wouldn't be surprised to see something go over it, that's more transparent than the veil but keeps the flow of the veil.
Bit like the Wembley ones.
To be honest, I've said before that I think the outside of the stadium isn't great and how it's coming together just reinforces that. It's like someone has been let loose and just gone overkill on it.
We've got glass, concrete and it's cladding, metal veil, even a bit of tiling work, smooth rounded edges, sharp angular shapes, a brutalist like feature makes an appearance, an array of different colours....... Aesthetically for me there is too much going on and it's not something I look at and think wow.
That is just the opinion of one humble punter though. I'm sure most wont care, will be happy enough, and the main thing that determines the stadium will be a) the environment and atmosphere inside and b) the facilities offered, but yeah...... I'd have done some things differently
i agree that the outside is not a beautiful piece of design work. But it does look somewhat fortress-like and foreboding in the flesh, so to speak, which is the most important part. Visiting teams arriving on their bus will be intimidated, and that's all I really care about for the outside.To be honest, I've said before that I think the outside of the stadium isn't great and how it's coming together just reinforces that.

Yeah I'm not overly sold on the West side as yet. Every other side looks great, insides look great and pitchside looks great. The shape on the West side is a bit too abstract for me but it does look better in the concept so hopefully once finished it will look good.To be honest, I've said before that I think the outside of the stadium isn't great and how it's coming together just reinforces that.

I think the outside looks stunning. Each side of the stadium is unique. I guess it's different tastes etc. Some people like abstract, others like paintings of a horse. To be honest, I don't think the exterior is especially abstract at all. Just different from all the other generic bowl stadiums we see out there.
